Library Policies
►Students may use the library for research, to study, or to read.
►Computers are to be used for educational purposes.
►All students must have a pass signed by a teacher.


Students are permitted to come to the library in a variety of ways:
  1. Before homeroom - with a signed agenda pass from your homeroom teacher - students can check out or return books, do quick research, and type on a computer.
  2. During the school day - with your class or teacher. Teachers are encouraged to schedule library time if they assign a project to their class that requires research. Usually, the teacher makes arrangements with the librarian and brings the class to the library at the prearranged time. Often the librarian can give a short lesson tailor-made for the research project.
  3. During the school day - individually or in small groups. If a student is absent during class research time; if someone needs extra time to complete research; a "teachable moment" compels an individual to do research; or a small group needs extra time in the library, teachers are encouraged to send students to the library with a signed agenda pass. Teachers are asked to call the library first, especially if computer use is involved.
  4. Whenever possible, students will be accommodated, as long as they have an agenda pass signed by a teacher.
